ChatGPT tracks Mac user activity

OpenAI has launched a new feature called "Computer History" within the ChatGPT platform, allowing the AI assistant to create a searchable log of user activity on Mac devices. This includes keystrokes, mouse clicks, and application navigation, with the aim of retrieving previous context when needed. The feature relies on collecting input events via the macOS accessibility framework and converting them into unencrypted text files stored locally. This raises privacy and security concerns, especially since it does not record screenshots, videos, or audio. The feature is activated only with user consent and allows control over which applications and websites have activity recorded. It represents a development towards reducing the amount of sensitive data collected, but users should remain cautious about the possibility of these files being accessed by other programs. Currently, the feature is subject to various activation mechanisms, especially in organizational environments.
